With all due respect ... this is entirely the wrong way to look at things.
FIRST has made it EXCEEDINGLY CLEAR over the years that there is no rule governing who builds how much of any FRC robot. The program is about inspiration and recognition, period. We're here to change the culture. There are plenty of rules to follow in FIRST, but this one does not exist. What you or I choose to use as a rule/guideline/method of inspiring during the build period with our own teams is a separate conversation. When we show up at competition we get to celebrate ALL team's creations and the effort put in, regardless of how any team got to that point. Wasting your time on being a skeptic about these things is time wasted that you could have used to inspire a student and change the culture. Namaste.
